Breathless

[Byron Dickens]

 

Running from the law, but is caught at the end.

Conceived of as a film cue

I can see this working as you indicate, what sound libraries are you using?

[Byron Dickens]

I have Miroslav Philharmonik, HaLion Symphonic Orchestra and the Sonivox Orchestral Companion layered together with Spitfire's Cimbalom playing the melody.

Probably one of the few, if not the only, things you've heard that is in Locrian Mode. I disguised it a bit by using a half-diminished chord for the tonic and leaving out the fifth, thereby avoiding that tritone on the tonic chord. Ending on the fourth maintainss the harmonic ambiguity. Coupled with the 7/8 time signature, I think makes the piece feel like it is frantically moving but never really getting anywhere.

very interesting listen....i like it....film score use for sure (a touch of elfman in there i think....)....my nerves are too shot to listen to that style normally.

To quote Lee over at guitar-chords.org.uk : 

"Ionian, Lydian and Mixolydian all have a major flavour. Dorian, Phrygian and Aeolian all have a minor flavour. Locrian has a diminished flavour and this makes it a bit unstable sounding which is why it isn't used as often".  you really captured the essence of the Locrian mode....well done

Definitely creates a strong atmosphere of running frantically as you say, has a touch of panic mixed in, would be great in a film at just that tense scene, well done!

Thanks for the comments. Good to hear I got the feel I was looking for.
